As eventful as the 2025 Ryder Cup was, one thing that keeps hanging over the tournament like a thick black storm cloud is the hecklers<\/a>.\u00a0 It has overshadowed most discussion about the game, so much so that one of the victims of the heckling, Rory McIlroy, has stated that he hardly sees talk about the game itself<\/a>.\u00a0 Many pros from around the world have given their takes on the issue, but recently, Patrick Reed has also shared his thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reed On The Ryder Cup<\/span><\/h2>\n

Recently, Patrick Reed had an interview with Bunkered<\/a>.\u00a0 This is the same interview where he revealed that he was sticking with LIV Golf<\/a> and is going through the process of contract renewal.\u00a0 Part of the discussion went to the Ryder Cup.\u00a0 He mostly talked about how he believed that he could be an asset to the US team, given that he was on it three times in his career.\u00a0 Then the discussion went to fan behavior.\u00a0 Reed has seen the clips of the hecklers going after the Euro team, and he was mortified.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe way I heard the fans acted in New York was uncalled for,\u201d\u00a0 Reed told Bunkered.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s embarrassing as an American. I mean, you don\u2019t do that. You don\u2019t act the way you did, say the things you say. Stuff like\u00a0<\/span>that that needs to be looked at, needs to be checked. It\u2019s supposed to be a gentleman\u2019s game, and you go out there, and some of the things that people say it\u2019s just appalling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Reed is emphasizing the importance of enforcing the sportsmanship that golf is known for.\u00a0 The kind of values that created the polite golf clap.\u00a0 It is also something that fans are missing from the sport, even if it\u2019s not gone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fan Reaction To Reed<\/span><\/h2>\n

Reed is hardly the first player to have this take.\u00a0 Players have been giving takes like this since day one.\u00a0 When Reed gave his opinion, it sparked a fan response<\/a> from people wanting to see the positive side of golf return.\u00a0 Additionally, one comment agreed wholeheartedly with Reed’s comments.\u00a0 One American commenter said, \u201cWe embarrassed ourselves.\u201d\u00a0 Others were saying that a game of golf was no place for this behavior.\u00a0 They thought that it belonged more in a game of football.\u00a0 One comment set the tone by saying that the incident will be a \u201cBlack eye for American fans to the rest of the world.\u201d\u00a0 Essentially implying that there could very well be a certain perception of American spectators around the world because of the Ryder Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans Demand Change<\/span><\/h2>\n

Golf has a base standard for how everyone is expected to behave.\u00a0 The players are hardly given clearance when they have an outburst on or off the field.\u00a0 The same is expected for the spectators.\u00a0 This is why players like Patrick Reed are so put off by what happened.\u00a0 If this were any other sport, the incident would have been quickly forgotten, but not in golf.\u00a0 The players and fans don\u2019t want to see this standard fall either.<\/span><\/p>\n
